Go up one level in this thread


Some person needed to try out some ideas on a "good ending" for a nice story.
But he doesn't have a complete story. Just ideas on an ending.

So he copies a novel titled "The Smart", and changes the ending, and changes
some dialogs too (translating the conversation of the characters from English to
Latin). He also removes some parts which he thinks are not useful to the story.
Then he titles his 'original' novel as "The Tiny".

He then gives it to a friend who publishes it to the international community.

Its a long novel. So many people spend hours and hours reading it. Its free do
download.

Later, someone discovered that many parts of "The Tiny" are the same with "The
Smart". The publisher refuses to agree. The publisher knows the 'history' of how
it took many years for this author to write "The Tiny" novel. Other readers too
(who claim to know how to read Latin) believe that the novel "The Tiny" is
original. These readers claim that this person who made the discovery is
questionable and that he is only out to discredit the well-respected author.

The rest of the event is being discussed in the "Club of Computer-Created
novels". The club itself has issues staying in existence. They should either
start charging entrance fee (to cover the building rental) or move to another
building (there are a few who are offering their building for free).

I leave this now for others to finish. I don't have an idea for a "good ending".
